    Ok the story:



    The History
    of Amaryllis Evernight


    Born in the
    year of the bright star Amaryllis was brought into the world. Her father was a scholar and her mother a
    healer of note near the lands of militant Nemedia. One day when a young lass of 7 years, raiders
    from Nemedia attached their humble farm.
    Her father tried to fight but not being trained in the use of weapons he
    was quickly dispatched. Her mother hid
    her in a secret door on the floor. Her
    mother’s last words to her were: “ May Mitra protect you”. She handed Amaryllis a piece of fig and told
    her to eat it. Amaryllis mother who was
    named Nortia, which means, “healing” was not only a healer of great note but
    also an alchemist. She had drugged the
    fig to put her to sleep. While Amaryllis
    was sleeping a man of kindness flowed from around him appeared in her dream and
    said: “My child do not fear for you have
    been chosen to help other’s by guiding them unto the path. He then placed his arms around her and he
    faded from her dreams but a warm and peaceful feeling remained as she closes
    her eyes. After a while, she awoke and
    opened the trap door and called out for her mother and father. Tears start flowing from her eyes as she
    yells for her mother and father. She
    notices everything has been thrown on the floor and broken. She walks outside and sees her father dead on
    the porch. She runs to his side and
    while crying she yells: “Father wake up!
    Father! Please wake up!”. At that time a patrol of Aquilonia soldiers
    run up to the house with swords and spears at the ready followed by a tall and
    well fit Centurion on a horse.




    The centurion of the patrol notices the little
    girl and gets off his horse and walks to her.
    Surveying the area and the body with the little girl crying and saying: “Father
    wake up! Wake up please!.” The Centurion who’s name is Trajan was also a
    father of several children. He looks
    upon the scene with cold eyes of a man who have seen many a battle. However his hart turns sad at this site. He knew both Nortia and Marcus Aurelius very
    well. Marcus was his children’s
    teacher. He takes off his cape and wraps
    it around Amaryllis. He says to her: “Amaryllis things will be alright.” He picks her up and puts her on her
    horse. At that time Amaryllis calls out
    for her mother… Mother! Where are you
    mother! She begins crying again. Trajan then tells his men to look around the
    area for Nortia. After a bit of time
    there was no sign of Nortia. He
    commended his Optio to continue the patrol.
    Trajan returns to his home and calls for his wife Licinia. Licinia comes from the house and looks at the
    weeping child in her husband’s arm. She
    runs and holds the weeping child and takes her into the house. At this point in time Trajan says: “Mitra!
    How can you let this evil happen to two good souls! By Mitra’s will I shell find these raiders
    and dispatch his justice upon them.”




    Trajan
    adopted Amaryllis as one of his own.
    Both Trajan and Licinia noted that Amaryllis was very bright and
    enrolled her into the school run by the church of Mitra. Many years of past and her adoptive parents
    supported Amarllis with her studies and provided her love and a home that she
    was denied by the hands of the Nemedias’.
    The priests of the school noted that she was very kind and wise on the
    matters of Mitra. They has said that
    Mitra must have something in store for this child. Amaryllis was at the top of her class and one
    night she visited her parents to ask for permission and their blessing upon a
    matter of choice.


    Amaryllis,
    now a young woman, wanted to ask her adopted parents about joining the
    priesthood. Trajan and Licinia was very
    happy to see Amaryllis. After hugs and
    kisses by Licinia and her brothers and sisters, they proceeded to the dinner
    table. After a blessed dinner, Amaryllis
    asked the question: “Father and Mother I
    like to ask your blessing upon my path.”
    Trajen looked at Amaryllis and then look at his wife Licinia, then back
    to Amaryllis with a smile under those cold steel blue eyes. Trajen said: “Ask my daughter and life this
    weight that you now bare.” Amaryllis
    looks upon her father and her mother and said: “Father and Mother, I thank you
    for taking me in as one of your own children.
    I know my Father and my Mother would be well pleased and I am sure that
    Mitra has smiled upon you for this task that you did not have to follow. With that I wish to ask your blessing for my
    choice of becoming a member of the Church of Mitra.” She falls silent and looks at her parents and
    waits for their response. Trajen grabs
    Licinia’s hand and smiles at Amaryllis and says: “Yes my daughter you have our
    blessing and I pray that Mitra smiles upon you.” Her brothers and sisters all giggle. One says so you will have a direct connection
    to Mitra so if I get in trouble I would be forgiven? At this statement Trajan looks upon his son
    with Ice cold eyes and a frown that would freeze the dead. His son straightens up and said: “I am sorry farther and mother. Please forgive me sister.” Amaryllis smiles upon her brother and
    says: “All is forgiven and I nor
    Mitra hold no ill will upon you.”




    Amaryllis
    becomes a student to become a Priestess of Mitra and this is where our story
    begins.

    Wow a story and a dang good one at that with the app... Very Happy That is defiantly a plus in my book. The only thing I think the app. is missing is a little info on your

    life outside of gaming. Maybe some interest and hobbies that you have besides writing and gaming. Other then that this is a great app. and you get my vote. Thumbs Up

    GL with the app. and I will be looking forward to your response. cheers

    OK OK, I'll be the first (7 had read it with no posts, perhaps they were driven off by the Wall of Text DoT?) Wink

    Sounds like you're very much a RP'er; there are a FEW of those here; so if you're OK with that, then so are we. We definitely do NOT discourage it, just more a lack of folks doing it (that I can see so far).

    The fact that you took the time to write your app shows real interest in our guild, which is key.

    We would, however like a few tidbits about Non-gaming. Like, what school? Do you have kids? If so, are they old enough to play and plan to do so?

    That would be a good start....

    I think you'll be a good fit; I'm just saying what more would have anyhow, so now they can just say 'ditto', or something to that effect. Wink

    PS with "A very good sense of humor", we will most likely want to hear a joke/funny story... jocolor

    Edit: Insane just beat me to 1st post after typing all this, but I'll leave it the same anyway.

    Post by Codexena Tue May 13, 2008 10:14 pm

    Well as stated I have returned back to school and been working on my MBA for a few years. I am currently on my last class and then a little break. I currently work for the US Government and like reading. Always looking for a rich man and go shopping, but alias no luck yet. Sad Oh well I have my two Pugs named Winston and Jezabel. They are my two babies and I love them and they keep me company when I am not doing homework. As far as a profession I am a Software Engineer currently but hope to be a Chief Information Officer one day or Chief Executive Officer one day. I like to teach as well and may do some part time work at a local collage. Humm not sure what else you might like to know, but please let me know. Very Happy I can write a store about my life in real if you like from my birth to my time in the Army, to the present.

    Cheers;

    OH, time in Army please; we have a lot of vets here (and active duty folks like me); so that's always a good read.

    You got my vote anyhow ( Thumbs Up Thumbs Up ), but would still like to know what you did in the Army.

    Lori - Join! (APPROVED) Empty Lori's crazy life and a Lawyer Joke

    Post by Codexena Tue May 13, 2008 10:30 pm

    Well I was married at the time and enlisted in the Army as a
    36C (Telephone Operator) to provide for my family with housing and wages
    greater than minimum wage. I was a cashier at a big box store at the time
    and my husband was a farmer's helper. I then decided to try to jump out
    of airplanes and was later assigned to the 18th Airborne Corps and my secondary
    MOS was 95B (Military Police) and later
    I become a 74F (Programmer). I visited
    many vacation spots like Grenada in 1983, and soon after Panama during the
    turnover. I just missed Desert Storm 1
    by a week. I left the Army after an E7
    and took a job with the Department of the Army as a Project Manager. From that point on I left the government
    after 11 years of service to try the commercial world, but came back to the
    government working for the Social Security Administration.





    Other interesting points in my life are that I have worked
    for two US Presidential augural committees.
    I have been invited to two augural balls in Washington DC and it is
    always nice to get a new dress and getting your hair done. It was fun! Thou
    currently my life is slow with all my school work. My MBA is from the University of Phoenix, and
    my undergraduate degrees are from Park University with a BS in Computer Science
    and a BS in Management Information Systems.
    Oh the joy! I was one of the very
    first females entering the Computer Science field at the time.



    Ok for the Joke. I will write one in the timeframe for AoC soon:




    A woman and her little girl were visiting the grave of the
    little girl's grandmother. On their way through the cemetery back to the car,
    the little girl asked, "Mommy, do they ever bury two people in the same
    grave?"

    "Of course not, dear." replied the mother, "Why would you think
    that?"

    "The tombstone back there said, 'Here lies a lawyer and an honest
    man.'" lol!









    Cheers;

    Now that's some good stuff!

    I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane once; turns out that I LOVE it for some odd reason. Being over Hawaii may have had something to do with it? scratch I promised my wife I wouldn't do that again until all our kids are through college (the most nervous part of the whole thing was filling out the legal forms, basically saying that I would have NO rights/claims should anything happen).

    Thank you for your service! Can't wait to group up with ya (and my wife, of course). And no Dao, there's NO sexual innuendo in that statement...

    Cheers, and see you in game soon! cheers

    Thank you all for your kind words. I also look forward to meeting each and everyone one of you as well even thou I may not be accepted. I can spins more tails about the many adventures that will soon to come for Amaryllis or Xenatha. study I will work on another short story for the Guardian Xenatha. If I am accepted, and you need to fill another class I am willing and will develop the story about that character as well. Now for a little humor:


    What do you call 10 rabbits walking backwards?

    ... A receding hair line. lol!

    Cheers;

    Lori AKA Amaryllis
